... consciousness has no private worlds. The waking have one world in common... All those who are waking, they have one world in common -- that is existence. And all those who are asleep and dreaming have their own worlds. Your world has to be dropped; that is the only renunciation I require of you. I don't say leave your wife, I don't say leave your job, I don't say leave your money; leave your anything, no! I...
... Jesus Christ. It is not so. Because Jesus himself in his behavior is very violent. He talks about love; he talks, but he behaved just the opposite. He threw away the money changers from the temple with a whip in his hand. Is that nonviolence? He cursed a fig tree because he and his followers were hungry and the tree did not welcome them with fruits. And it was not the season for figs to appear on the...

... A LOT OF WORK TO DO ON OUR PLANET HERE. A:* Right. Q:* DO YOU THINK THAT WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO EXPLORE OFF OF OUR PLANET? A:* No. Right now there is no time. This is sheer stupidity to waste money and time going to the moon and to the mars, because the nearest planets don't have life. There is a possibility of life, but those planets will take a lifelong journey. They are millions of light-years...
... religion is born. This is the third thing. These three things you remember, then we can move into this story. A POWERFUL KING, RULER OF MANY DOMAINS, WAS IN A POSITION OF SUCH MAGNIFICENCE THAT WISE MEN WERE HIS MERE EMPLOYEES. That's possible; you can hire wise men. If you have enough money wise men can be mere employees to you - but you will not learn that way. He had many wise men. But I have never...

... treasure. That which cannot be taken away from you is real treasure. Even death cannot take it away from you. That is the criterion. Whatsoever you have, always put it to the criterion: whether death will take it away from you or not. That should become a constant contemplation. You have money - will death separate you from it or not? You have prestige, political power, fame, beauty, physical strength...
... confer a degree of Doctor of Divinity upon his favorite horse. Since the university was anxious to receive the money -- it was a really big sum -- the Dean set a date for the animal to receive a degree of D.D. This unusual occasion was attended by the press, and one of the reporters asked the Dean, "What is your reaction to this strange arrangement?" "Well," replied the Dean, "...

...; free from all the second principles. A girl told her friend she had just become engaged to a traveling salesman. "Is he good looking?" asked the friend. "Look, he would never stand out in a crowd." "Does he have money?" continued the friend. "If he does, he won't spend it." "What about his bad habits. Does he have any?" "Well, he drinks an awful...
... sacrifice his love for the country, he can sacrifice his love for any trivial affair, for business, for money, for politics. Love is not such a deep thing with him, a male mind. It is not as effortless as it is for a feminine mind. Meditation is easier. He can become empty easily. So this is my definition: if you find being empty easy, then do that. If you find it is very difficult, then don't be unhappy...

...: Do you have a two-car garage, or only a one-car garage? - immediately the ego feels disturbed because other people have a two-car garage, and you have only one. Your life is wasted. You existed for nothing, Move fast, borrow money. Do something! Even if you get ulcers on the way, it is okay. Cancer one can tolerate, but one cannot tolerate a one-car garage. Commit suicide, but you have to have a...
... much, he gets well quickly. When he pays so much, he believes that the doctor is not ordinary. So it is not only a question of getting more money, it is a question of helping the patient. It is part of treatment." But the police were not ready to listen to me; he was presented before the magistrate. I went there too, and I said, "You should look at the record of how many people he cures...

... poor doctor is behind the bars. But I was continually talking to him, and he was very open and clear. He said, "I have arranged this whole thing as a hypnotic strategy. Once the patient is hypnotized, is ready to cooperate with me, once he trusts me... and he has to trust because he has paid so much money, and he has to trust because I am the last resort. He has been to all kinds of doctors. If...
.... Millions upon millions of dollars turned into useless paper. On the other hand, there is this man amassing currency notes. He has no other interest but to hoard money. He fills his safe, but he does not know that for each banknote he is selling his own life, for each moment is precious. The energy he could have utilized in attaining God he wastes in gathering the banknotes. In Mexico pebbles and stones...

... were once used as coins, for it is only a matter of general agreement; you use paper to represent money, but surely stones are more valuable than paper! Gold is gold for we have agreed to its value. If tomorrow the wind changes, iron will be valued in place of gold, and gold will lose all importance. Then jewels and ornaments will be made of iron. There are tribes in Africa who value bones and not...
... IS greed. Greed and mind are not two things, greed is the nature of mind. Mind is greedy because it wants to accumulate more and more.

It wants to accumulate more and more, it is afraid of being empty, because in emptiness mind disappears, evaporates. Only when you are cluttered...

... do with money as such, anything that you go on filling yourself with is greed. And there is no 'mind of greediness'; mind IS greediness. Berkowitz met a beautiful brunette in Bermuda and tried to get her to fly home with him to New York. "Come with me tonight and I'll buy you a mink coat," propositioned Berkowitz. "I've got two minks hanging in my closet." "A Buick...
... was sitting with such dignity reading a newspaper, that this visitor asked, "You don't look mad at all." He talked with that man and he was perfectly logical, absolutely normal. The visitor was surprised: "Why have you been kept?" He said, "Because of my relatives; they wanted to throw me in here because they want to grab all the money that I have, and that is the only way...

...: either to kill me, or to throw me into a madhouse. And I also agreed. This is better. At least I am alive. Otherwise, they would have killed me. I have such a lot of money." And everything was so logical and normal that the visitor said, "You don't be worried. I know the governor, and I will go to him and tell everything." The madman said, "Please, if you can do something, do it...
... not exist at all, thinks it is the very centre of the whole existence. Hence the misery. We go on making all kinds of efforts and they all fail because the very presupposition is false. Man goes on trying to succeed and never succeeds. All success brings frustration. We have piled up much money and we have piled up many devices and we have progressed much in science, but misery grows. Today misery...

... as our mask. The original face remains hidden. If you have much money, it is on your face, it is hiding your real face. If you are on some political trip, politics is there.
